There are some striking weather and climate related images at National Geographic Society's wallpaper web site.
The picture above shows a springtime snow squall approaching Great Falls Montana. Photography of the skies at night can be equally breathtaking. The World at Night Project (TWAN) documents stunning photographs of the moon, the planets, the stars and the clouds after sunset.
Measurement science is responsible for accurate determination of weather and climate elements. Experimentation and Measurement
is an excellent primer on measurement science, written in 1961 by a NIST scientist, W.J. Youden for the National Science Teachers Association.
